People say you get more right wing as you get older but I find it's just that I'm more authoritarian in how the ideology I already have should be enforced. And a kind of scatter gun of single issues line how people with pets should have to use different educational institutions to those without

Choosing a (women's) football team to start going to without any particular preconceptions about the four equidistant local teams, do I go: the most successful one playing at the highest level or one of the three that play in the same league and choose semi arbitrarily

Genuinely think,e.g., 4 seasons of 30 point deductions is worse than one massive one - relegating city is a novelty side quest, grinding to mid table for will eventually reset city to what they were pre-takeover

The horrifying thing where you think someone's on a video call in public and they do that little half spin back and forth that tells you you're in the background of a promotional Instagram story

My daughter has zeroed in on the fountains in the area of town that is ideal for letting her run around, not understanding that I'm terrified of fountains you can stand in because of the Diana memorial opening mishaps happening at a very formative time in my life

Sorry late on the ai discourse, but I was looking at some horrendously pixelated photo stand in that a market trader had put up earlier and came to this conclusion: AI menus, etc will eventually become a sign of (class) "authenticity" among the trendies up London for whom shit things are good

Tangential but had a conversation with a colleague the other day where she said she thought the new mode of testing brought in locally (based more on writing) has been to keep Asian kids out

The chimerical accent that arises from raising a child in a place neither parent is from is fun. "No" is very of the area we live (somewhere between nor and ner), "yes" is somewhere near rp and she says "up" in that incredibly specific 70-year-old Cypriot cockney accent

If I were the nation of Spain and I had a delicious soup and a delicious cheese, I would not make it so that by combining the names of the two you got a snail and tripe soup with wet crackers

There’s an underlying assumption a lot of people are making that if a black guy successfully misleads you, it means you have set your racism levels too low.

For obvious reasons, there's far too much focus on race with the Arday thing when I think a lot of the mess stems from him representing the 'perfect' disabled subject. Every possible thing overcome to achieve the Biggest Version of Success in his field - autistic people are only allowed to be

Burnham is clearly an attempt to bread and circuses the public into accepting continued redistribution to the super rich. Thing is though I fucking love bread and circuses are a lot of fun, so who's to say if this is bad or not

Amazing that BBC 6 now has a spinoff that doesn't allow women on and, in listening to twenty minutes of the morning show, I have discovered that they don't even play songs by women

From May to Johnson to Starmer and now Farage: that is a long line of once-formidable people who spoke for the public with authoritative voices, but swiftly became very embarrassing and had to be quite harshly dispensed with.

Here’s a good general rule for watching British politics: it is pretty obvious what has happened when the control switch on the Big Bullshit Machine is flipped from “Suck” to “Blow”.

Thought there'd be AC in the more local science museum but there isn't and half of it is glass so it was much hotter than outside Should've gone to Bradford, but the trade off is that there is not a single tree in the centre (hyperbole)

Very niche tweet this, but I got 9 deep into a batch of ten lit papers and 5 in a row were under 7 pages (the ideal length) and the last one used three extra booklets (26 pages overall) and THEN put "I couldn't finish :(" I can't do it

Had it not been for well over ten years of our horrible politicians and our utterly malignant media outlets fucking around, we would not now be finding out. This stuff has always been imposed from above, rather than rising organically from below.
